Chapter 3 Celebrating Presenters

The speaker is in control of the presentation depending on his or her style as Burmark mentions the speaker can be a lecture style presenter “The lecture presents us with mind-numbering instructions those results in disengagement. (pg. 43) A speaker can also be known as an entertainer to the audience by the use of music as Burmark mentions “The entertainer offers delightfully mind-numbering performance that results in escapism”. (pg. 44) A speaker can also be someone who encourages, inspires, motivates people or students as Burmark mentions “The motivational speaker inspires us and has an impact, short or long term”. (pg. 45) Speakers can also be those who educate was during a presentation they inspire us to retain information those who teach us new things as Burmark mentions they are also known as Educators “empowers students to retain and transfer learning”. (pg. 46) Steve Jacobs was known as one of the best educators in our times he was able captivate the audience with his style of speaking by using three style of speaking Burmark mentions he would “lecture that informs., entertainment that captivates, and motivation that inspires” (pg. 47). It is also well know factor that the audience can also affect the speaker if the speaker is well known to the audience the speaker will have an easier time presenting his or her topic or the subject in matter. What if the speaker had to adapt to the style of the audience, as Burmark mentions the use of posters with the different types of topics that will be covered during the presentation will do the trick “A technique that I’ve used is to hang eight posters in the presentation room or classroom” (pg. 54).
